Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil can greatly benefit plant growth. Plants grown in pots can be planted year-round, except during frost periods. After planting, it's important to water the plants until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant determines how many can be planted per square metre. For Ceanothus 'Puget Blue', approximately 1 to 2 plants per square metre is ideal. Follow these planting instructions for best results.

Pruning a Ceanothus 'Puget Blue'

Ceanothus 'Puget Blue' benefits from light pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Pruning is best done in late spring after the flowering period. This helps to remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and prevent potential damage. Cutting back spent flowers can also promote new blooms. Use clean, sharp secateurs to make precise cuts and avoid spreading disease. Regular pruning keeps the plant tidy and can enhance its overall appearance, making it a beautiful addition to any garden.

Watering a Ceanothus 'Puget Blue'

Ceanothus 'Puget Blue' thrives with moderate watering. It's best to water deeply rather than giving small amounts daily. This encourages strong root growth. Check the soil regularly to ensure it needs water; the top layer should be dry before watering again. Early morning or late afternoon is ideal for watering to reduce evaporation. Rainwater can be used if available. Ensure excess water can drain away, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. While Ceanothus 'Puget Blue' is drought-tolerant once established, initial watering is crucial, especially with drip systems, to help roots settle.

Fertilising a Ceanothus 'Puget Blue'

Fertilising Ceanothus 'Puget Blue' is essential for promoting healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Regular feeding enhances the plant's vitality, ensuring it remains lush and attractive. Using organic fertilisers is recommended, as they prevent root and leaf burn that can occur with synthetic options. Consider using Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer in spring and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer in summer. Apply fertiliser twice a year, adjusting the amount based on the plant's size. Ensure nutrients reach the roots by watering the garden during dry spells, allowing the fertiliser to dissolve into the soil effectively.
